Impact on the Little Guys
ACM, ICCA, IEEE-USA, Ralph Nader (through Todd Paglia) and I proposed instead:
- No consequential damages for unknown defects or known documented defects.
- Consequentials are non-excludable (but can be capped) in the event of harm caused by a known, hidden defect.
The drafting committee, repeatedly rejected this proposal.
- Seen as contrary to interests of some large publishers: It subjects them to liability for some known defects, whereas today they can avoid liability altogether;
- Seen as contrary to interests of some large customers: It limits the liability of their consultants for unknown and for known, documented defects.
